Koji Igarashi, who Kickstarted BloodStained: Ritual of the Night back in June 2019 (which we were proud to back) has created a special message to celebrate 2 million copies sold worldwide! Congratulations to Iga-san for running with his dream of creating a new Metroidvania title, creating a tidal wave of imitations since, despite the reluctance of any studio to help Iga when he was shopping the idea.
Sometimes you just have to believe in yourself, clearly!
New updates are coming to the game, including Chaos and Vs Modes, both of which will be discussed in more detail on September 14th.
In the meantime, over to Iga-san:
